When viewed from a modern context, the "fixes" offered by a micromag are fairly minor, and in some cases come with some caveats.
The best thing about them is indeed the aesthetic anno jobs. They make excellent wall hangers.

So PTP didn't solve the shortcoming of having the same frame capable of both single/dual finger triggers, even though they could have easily done so since they switched to cocker threads. And they knew very well that people were cutting up frames.

So... have you never owned a classic mag? Classic mag VA's have a groove/landing in them which mates up against the shape of the classic rail.
Unless there's something I'm missing in the history, AGD later cause the problem by ditching the dovetail pattern on the rails, and then unbroke the situation with the two-hole VA's.
"Accuracy by aiming."
Definitely not on the A-Team.
